The most comprehensive look yet into the franchise’s crowning achievement.

We don’t have to imagine what happened out there amid the sandstorms [on set], thanks to Blood, Sweat & Chrome, Kyle Buchanan’s deft and rollicking assembly of recollections by cast, crew, studio suits, and more.

Blood, Sweat & Chrome pulls away from clichés by tossing the keys to the filmmakers themselves. The pop culture reporter for The New York Times assembles scores of voices that rev up a narrative that will excite Mad Max fans specifically, and entertain film buffs generally, on how ideas are realized as epics.

...the New York Times journalist expands his oral history of the acclaimed 2015 action movie to a similarly detailed extreme that the ambitious, cut-no-corners Miller would find kinship with.

Throughout the book, Miller's vision is brought to life.

[A] must-have oral history.
